Digital cameras are a great little asset when you are out and about. They are small enough to fit into your pocket, they don’t require any film and they allow you to create memories wherever you are.
However, this flexibility brings with it a giant worry we all carry with us – and that is the concern about losing the camera.
Cameras are small enough to fit into the palm of a hand and they are very light. They are often taken to places such as fairgrounds, concerts, festivals, on day trips and just about anywhere else you can think of.
It is very easy for a digital camera to be put down somewhere and forgotten, especially if you have other things on your mind.
This little “how to” trick should be used by anyone who owns a digital camera, even if you never go to crowded places or think you will never lose your camera.
It is so simple and takes literally minutes. In the long term it could save you a lot of money, but more importantly than that, it could ensure that you do not lose precious photographs you would rather cherish than have deleted by the person who finds your lost camera.
The idea is to write down your name and address on a piece of paper and take a photograph of it. If your camera allows you to lock images so they are not deleted, set the image to locked.
If you wanted to, you could fluff up your message a little to play on the emotions of the person who finds your lost camera, as the person who does the finding is the linchpin to this "how to” working.
